Dear Matus,

I adjusted skype settings accoırding to the skype and there is nothing seems to be wrong with the cache.log. But the problem persists.
As I see from the port monitor of my own computer, skype can only connect through 443 and 80 ports.

The reason I am intercepting the usual ports other than 80 and 443 is that I am using the squid server in a membership system. People only who has a membership of internet connection should be able to access the internet. So I have to do it through squid. I am adding MAC addresses to squid to check if the client is a member or not. And also squid helps me caching & dividing the bandwitdh to make equal access to all clients. This is the origin of the problem.

I welcome new opinions on this subject.

Regards,

Cihad
